The End Of The World As I Know It: Grandma Edition

My grandma passed away today. She almost lasted a week longer than expected, but the whole concept that she is gone is still rather difficult to comprehend. Last time I saw here was a few years ago when my family visited during a vacation east. During that trip she gave my sisters jewelry and I guess felt bad that she was giving both of them stuff so she found this gold plated thing which she gave to me. It is this interesting 4" figure she bought on some vacation in South America or something. I looked through some boxes and found it when I heard the news. I guess that will be the item I will keep around to remember her. I tend to do that in situations like this. Now I have no living grandparents. Here funeral will be sometime this week in New Jersey. My mom is already there and has been for the past week, so I will be flying east Tuesday or Wednesday with some family. Perhaps this week will put life a bit more into perspective. I'm not really sure what to expect, but what would life be like going day to day knowing what's going to happen.

It's not like I have much going on right now. I have people that can take care of Abby, and don't really have much of anything I have to worry about missing. I haven't even managed to get contacted by anyone about jobs. After next week I plan on dedicating more time to the job search, and I will be considering more varied options. I am starting to wonder at what point I should just pick up an extra job to be making money while looking for a carrier position.
